Zeal Outreach Ministries have a simple focus: people. By fulfilling God’s calling as disciples of Jesus Christ, we want to minister love to a hurting world: it begins with you and me. Challenged to be the “only Jesus some will ever see”, we are bringing the message of love through preaching the Gospel, teaching and healing.

“Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love”. (1 John 4:8 ESV)


Passing the Baton

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14)

Passing the Baton – defining passing of the baton as the process and act of intentionally passing on four important things – faith, hope, love and responsibility. The Great Commission is a “passing the baton” directive. When Jesus said, “Go and make disciples” He was telling those around Him to “pass it on.” In other words, to pass the Good News of Jesus Christ and the important habits of faith and service in light of the Good News.

“Zeal is committed to follow God fully and to help us all to do the same.”

  • Commitment to finishing well. “Run in such a way to get the prize.” – (1 Corinthians 9:24)
  • Commitment to proper focus. “I want to be sure I was not running and had not been running in vain.” – (Galatians 2:2)
  • Commitment to the true purpose. “Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?” – (Galatians 5:7)
  • Commitment to the long haul “..let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” – (Hebrews 12:1)
 

 

 

Statement of Faith

We Believe…

  1. The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
  2. The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
  3. The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
  4. The dignity of all people, made male and female in God’s image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
  5. The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
  6. The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
  7. The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
  8. The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
  9. The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
  10. The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God and proclaim the Gospel, promoting justice and love.
  11. The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfill the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.

Liviu Cristescu

My name is Liviu Cristescu and I was born in Romania I am the second son from 7 children and was brought up in a very conservative christian home, and we were always taken to church, and we’ve been thought to love and fear God For God so loved us that He gave His only begotten Son, John 3:16. Today I am living in England with my wife Laura and five children. I am Born Again a new creation. I invite you to read to my life changing testimony on the Zeal blog page. My dear friend, if you read this, let me say this to you: God is able, He is willing and HE WILL change your life completely if you call upon the name of the Lord ”For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13. ”For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord . “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NLT Today the Lord is taking me places around the world to testify of His goodness and love and my deepest desire is to know Him more and serve Him for the rest of my life, preaching the good news, that there is power in the blood of Jesus. There is nothing in this world that can give you the peace, the joy, and the pleasure to enjoy life like the Lord. I dare you to give your life to Him that knows all about you and you will never look back God bless you.
